Switzerland adopts EU-aligned sanctions against Belarus on October 31, including bans on investments, imports, and restrictions on exports.

Switzerland will implement new sanctions against Belarus starting October 31, aligned with the EU's June measures in response to Belarus's support of Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Key actions include banning investments in Belarusian energy companies, prohibiting the import of gold, diamonds, coal, and crude oil, and restricting the export of luxury goods and equipment that could enhance industrial capacity. Swiss companies can now seek damages in local courts for losses linked to Belarusian actions.
